2. ECE 495 – Integrated System Design I Career Note: Communication Skills are Important Cover Letter Mistakes - some employers don't bother reading cover letters, most do. – Using the Wrong Cover Letter Format Include the date, the recipient's mailing address and your address. – Not Proofing for Typos and Grammatical Errors Employers tend to view typos and grammatical errors as evidence of your carelessness and inability to write. Proofread every letter you send.typos and grammatical errors – Writing a Novel http://career-advice.monster.com/resumes-cover-letters/cover-letter-tips/avoid-7-killer-cover-letter- mistakes/article.aspx?key=gsaa

3. ECE 495 – Integrated System Design I Career Note: Communication Skills are Important – Making Unsupported Claims Too many cover letters from college students and recent grads say the applicant has "strong written and verbal communication skills." Without evidence, it's an empty boast. Give some examples for each claim you make. Employers need proof. – Not Sending a Real Cover Letter Some job seekers type up a one or two-sentence "here's my resume" cover letter, while others attach handwritten letters or sticky notes. These same basic concepts apply to your technical writing! You need to show that you care about your work and are competent. The reason I have you write so much in ECE495 is 1) so you can practice writing and 2) it is required to document your project.
